ID2D1RenderTarget::DrawLine method (d2d1.h)

Draws a line between the specified points using the specified stroke style.

Syntax

void DrawLine(
                 D2D1_POINT_2F    point0,
                 D2D1_POINT_2F    point1,
  [in]           ID2D1Brush       *brush,
                 FLOAT            strokeWidth,
  [in, optional] ID2D1StrokeStyle *strokeStyle
);

Parameters

point0

Type: D2D1_POINT_2F

The start point of the line, in device-independent pixels.

point1

Type: D2D1_POINT_2F

The end point of the line, in device-independent pixels.

[in] brush

Type: ID2D1Brush*

The brush used to paint the line's stroke.

strokeWidth

Type: FLOAT

The width of the stroke, in device-independent pixels. The value must be greater than or equal to 0.0f. If this parameter isn't specified, it defaults to 1.0f. The stroke is centered on the line.

[in, optional] strokeStyle

Type: ID2D1StrokeStyle*

The style of stroke to paint, or NULL to paint a solid line.

Return value

None

Remarks

This method doesn't return an error code if it fails. To determine whether a drawing operation (such as DrawLine) failed, check the result returned by the ID2D1RenderTarget::EndDraw or ID2D1RenderTarget::Flush methods.

Examples

The following example uses the DrawLine method to create a grid that spans the width and height of the render target. The width and height information is provided by the rtSize variable.

        // Draw a grid background.
        int width = static_cast<int>(rtSize.width);
        int height = static_cast<int>(rtSize.height);

        for (int x = 0; x < width; x += 10)
        {
            m_pRenderTarget->DrawLine(
                D2D1::Point2F(static_cast<FLOAT>(x), 0.0f),
                D2D1::Point2F(static_cast<FLOAT>(x), rtSize.height),
                m_pLightSlateGrayBrush,
                0.5f
                );
        }

        for (int y = 0; y < height; y += 10)
        {
            m_pRenderTarget->DrawLine(
                D2D1::Point2F(0.0f, static_cast<FLOAT>(y)),
                D2D1::Point2F(rtSize.width, static_cast<FLOAT>(y)),
                m_pLightSlateGrayBrush,
                0.5f
                );
        }
